"How would you evaluate the Hidden Origin Society?"
Wang Wu asked another question. In truth, this question was already somewhat inappropriate, and might even make Xu Taiping suspicious.
But an elite like Xu Taiping, who had risen from the lowest ranks of commoners, might have uniquely insightful views.
Besides, Wang Wu was partly doing it on purpose, simply to make himself seem inexperienced in worldly affairs, a bit of a novice, and so on.
Sure enough, Xu Taiping fell silent. He did not want to answer such a question. Besides, who asked something like that? It made one seem utterly lacking in sophistication.
But considering that the other party was an eighth-rank elder of the Hidden Origin Society, perhaps even the overseer of some branch altar, such a question was understandable.
"This humble one dares ask: what sort of evaluation does True Immortal Lord wish to hear?"
"Good or bad, it does not matter. Evaluate it from your own perspective first, then from your understanding, evaluate it from a broader perspective."
"Yes!"
Xu Taiping pondered for a moment before saying, "To this humble one, the Hidden Origin Society is quite good. After all, mortals living in cities protected by the Hidden Origin Society should count themselves fortunate, with a great chance of living out this life in peace and happiness."
"Moreover, the Hidden Origin Society is relatively friendly toward independent cultivators. As an independent cultivator, it is easy to find a foothold there, and the Hidden Origin Society's Public Treasury can basically meet one's everyday cultivation needs."
"This humble one once worked at the Azure Dragon Immortal Alliance branch altar of the Hidden Origin Society for six hundred years. It was also thanks to those six hundred years that this humble one's cultivation greatly improved and my foundation was solidified.
